craigy

amazing tot hink not so long ago it was probably the norm to buy coins from a book with no pictures, before modern tech

they make me feel angry, not even members of the bnta, i have almost forgotten what they did to me, and how i was treated, t$ssers the pair of them

Bullion gold and silver looking proof like

no i agree with that designation, most of the bu coins are coming out like with this proof like finish even the bullion gold and silver, take this silver baby penny i got from 2018 , what do you term that finish ? or the finish on the 2018 sixpence that is stated as bu on the pack

wonder what mintage was for them, they never really caught on,

yes different designs Designs b, d, e, h and i are the second set which are 1994 D-Day Landing, 2006 Victoria Cross Medal, 2006 Victoria Cross Acts of Bravery, 2015 Battle of Britain & 2016 Battle of Hastings. 'The design of the said fifty pence gold, silver and cupro-nickel coins shall be either: ‘For the obverse impression either: (a) Our effigy with the inscription “∙ ELIZABETH II ∙ DEI ∙ GRA ∙ REG ∙ FID ∙ DEF ∙ 2019”; or (b) Our effigy with the inscription “∙ ELIZABETH II ∙ D ∙ G ∙ REG ∙ F ∙ D ∙ 50 PENCE ∙ 2019”, and for the reverse either: (a) the figure of Britannia, seated beside a lion, with a shield resting against her right side, holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand; and the figure “50” together with the words “NEW PENCE”; or (b) a design representing the D-Day landings of the Allied invasion force heading for Normandy and filling the sea and sky, with the inscription “50 PENCE”; or (c) the legs of a running athlete with a stylized stopwatch in the background and, with the inscription “50 PENCE”; or (d) a depiction of the obverse and reverse of a Victoria Cross with the date “29.

The coins shall have a plain edge.’

and you could add her overseas territories as well just to thicken it up a bit more

i know but i ment including her pre decinmals as well, albeit 7 pages,

there is a second set to the 50 years 50p thing to come yet

i reckon Elizabeth II could have her own volume at this rate

be able to pick them up cheaper on ebay in a few weeks when everyone is lumbered with 10 sets, like the gruffalo, cheaper on ebay then the original asking price

I wouldn't have a clue with these, always wanted one but too worried I will buy a lemon, even doing these now 1937 crown copy

apparently its a great Forgery 1933 crown

shame about the toning on these and worse, would have been a stunning set https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Great-Britain-1950-Proof-Set-in-Original-Case/173499422331?hash=item28655f167b:g:AF0AAOSwO6tbhH-B

ah the old faithful 10cf2

I get as far as Henry 3 then i'm stumped until Edward the boy king lol

haha I reckon if I quoted Edward I class 10 f i'd be right in 99% of id's lol why does the class 10 seem to be the most common ? i'm sure I read in the great re coinage of Edward I something like 130,000,000 pennies were struck ?

do you have a link to any in particular ?

why o why are people buying the 2019 peter rabbits on ebay for more than the asking price at the Rm while they still have them in stock https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=2019 peter rabbit silver proof 50p&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

yes our history teacher was the same, we had a stamp club and that's where it came from,

any stamp collectors on here ? I used to collect stamps as a child, a friend and me used to go to the monthly stamp fair at fullwell cross library Barkingside in the late 80's, and got friendly with a local stamp dealer that lived near us in Upney. , so we didn't have the usual fair for a childs collection, was all about phosphor lines and nice cancellation marks, he used to give us 1000's of George v ones to go thru looking for the different colour backgrounds etc, Bernard Stibbard, doubt he is still alive now

i opened my gob before I engaged my brain, and couldn't think what was unusual about 1952 pennies, then I realised 🤐🤐🤐

35,000 in total of the silver proof

And half a dozen have already bought them from ebay
